[QUOTE]Originally posted by Venomized93: [QB] Well this weekend I headed up to S.Lake Tahoe and went to HEAVENLY. Let me tell you. Snowbaording for the first time was a hell of an experience for me. I've never done snowboarding or skiing. I was totally unprepared clothing wise. I had the pants (rented) but no damn waterproof jacket. So I wore my SF GIANTS jacket (LOL). Surprisingly the jacket on the outside was soaked but the inside lining never got through with water. I bought some DRAGON goggles for 35 bucks on sale and some gloves. But the goggles would get foggy and hard to see through them at times. So next time I plan on buying some good gear to have. As for the snowboarding, HOLY crap I took a beating I must a fell at least 50 times, 4-6 back of the head slams and an elbow to the chest (feels like a broken a rib. LOL) I was trying to break the fall and had my arms close in towards my chest. Well when I landed stomach/chest first to the ground. My elbows drove into my upper chest area. I thought I had broke an upper rib. For a second it took my wind out. That shit hurted. I must of stayed on the ground for 5 minutes. That happened on SATURDAY, so when I went today I was snowboarding in some big pain. Everytime I fell It felt like I was being punched on a FAT ass bruise feeling. Also, I hit my head on some hard ass snow when I fell a couple of times. I'm thinking of getting a helmet. In the end I'm kind of getting the hang of it but have a lot more learning before I can go to the bigger slopes. Now I want to get some GOOD/QUALITY gear from the boards all the way to the head gear. What brands are good and where should I buy it and what time of the year? Thanks [/QB][/QUOTE]
